Event Details

Presenter Meghan Cassidy will give a foundation of basic info about spiders and other arachnids including harvestmen, scorpions, ticks, and a few others - most of whom are misunderstood, and almost all often feared. The presentation will include basic taxonomy, ecology, natural history, and common families. Meghan will discuss spiders found in Texas prairies and the plants these spiders may be associated with. She will also offer some strategies for identifying spiders. Meghan has many detailed spider photos to show, and she will provide some tips for using iNaturalist as a learning resource for spiders!
